4. Fully press and hold the traction & Free-Hand™ Control lever (B, Figure 2) on the left-hand grip to engage the traction drive and begin moving the snowthrower. To disengage the traction drive, completely release the lever. 5. When BOTH levers are depressed, the Free-Hand™ Control is activated. This allows Auger Engage Control to be released — YET AUGER ROTATION WILL CONTINUE — until the Free-Hand™ Control is released. 6. Select forward or reverse speeds as needed using the Speed Selector (A, Figure 2). Release both control levers before changing drive speeds. CLEARING A CLOGGED DISCHARGE CHUTE Hand contact with the rotating auger/impeller inside the discharge chute is the most common cause of injury associated with snowthrowers. DO NOT use your hand to clean out the discharge chute. To clear the chute: 1. Stop the engine. Remove the key 2. Wait 10 seconds to be sure the auger/impeller blades have stopped rotating. 3. Use the clean-out tool to remove clogs. DO NOT use your hands. WARNING When BOTH levers are depressed, the Free- Hand™ Control is activated. This allows Auger Engage Control to be released — YET AUGER ROTATION WILL CONTINUE — until the Free- Hand™ Control is released. B D A E C F Figure 2. Controls (from operator’s position) A.

Easy Turn Lever 14 Operation GROUND SPEED SELECTOR Use the speed selector (A, Figure 2) to control the drive speed of the snowthrower. There are five forward speeds and two reverse speeds. Use the lower speeds to blow deep or wet snow. Use the higher speeds to blow light snow or to drive the snow- thrower without blowing snow. To change speeds, release the auger control lever (B, Figure 2), then move the speed selector to the desired setting. Fully depress the control levers to resume. ENGINE SPEED Always run the snowthrower at full throttle. DEFLECTOR The distance of the discharged snow is mainly controlled by the position of the deflector. (Engine speed also affects distance of discharge.) The more the deflector is tilted UP, the farther snow will be thrown. 1. Push the remote deflector control (C) to the left to UNLOCK the control. Sliding the contort forward(B) will put the deflector to the maximum throwing position (A). Sliding the control backwards to decrease the throwing distance. A B Figure 3. Remote Deflector Control A. Maximum Throwing Position B. Spring 2. Release the control to LOCK in place when the desired angle has been chosen. SCRAPER BAR & SKID SHOES On smooth surfaces such as concrete or asphalt, the scraper bar (A, Figure 4) should scrape the surface. On surfaces such as gravel, the scraper bar should be high enough so that it will not pick up gravel or debris. The height of the scraper bar (A) is controlled by raising or lowering the skid shoes (B). 1. To raise the scraper bar height, rest the scraper bar (A) on a strip of wood equal in thickness to the desired height. 2. Make sure the scraper bar is parallel to the ground surface. 3. Loosen the skid shoe nuts (C) and let the skid shoes (B) drop to the surface. 4. Tighten the nuts (C), making sure the skid shoes are adjusted equally and are parallel to the surface. 5. To lower the height of the scraper bar, raise the skid shoes. 6. If the scraper bar becomes worn, it can be replaced by removing the hardware attaching it to the snowthrower. A B C Figure 4.

Easy Turn Control EASY TURN™ FREEWHEELING AND TRACTION DRIVE LOCK While Clearing Snow: For easy turning when using the snowthrower, squeeze the Easy Turn™ lever (Figure 5). Engaging the Easy Turn™ lever releases the left traction wheel but allows the right wheel to continue driving (Figure 5). Releasing the Easy Turn™ lever automatically engages both drive wheels for full traction. NOTE: The Easy Turn™ lever will be more difficult to activate under a heavy load. Activate the lever before beginning a turn. When Pushing the Snowthrower: (Units without Easy Turn) For easy turning when pushing the snowthrower, disengage the right wheel using the traction lock pin (See Figure 6.) 1. Turn the unit off, remove the engine key, and disconnect the spark plug wire. A B Figure 6. Traction Drive Lock A. Pin in Outer Hole (Freewheel) B. Pin in Inner Hole (Drive) 2. To DISENGAGE the traction drive lock, insert the Traction Lock Pin (A, Figure 6) through the outer hole in the right axle. The unit can now be pushed with minimal resistance. 3. To ENGAGE the traction drive lock, align the hole in the hub with the inner hole in the axle, and install the Traction Lock Pin (B). NOTE: Be sure both wheels are locked (locking pin in inner hole) when clearing snow. 16 Operation AFTER EACH USE Normal use of the snowthrower may...
